Comments

[icy]

[ His shrug is careless, deliberately so. ]

You over-react to a lot, I'm guessing. [ It's then he gets a good look at what the boy is wearing, and ... well. That get-up is a little too old to be a blast even from Jack's past. ] What's your name? And where were you going?

[breadmaking]

[He so does not overreact a lot, gosh. That comment earns a look, but Hiccup lets it go to focus on this whole introduction thing.]

Hiccup. [Don't laugh, okay.] And I was just looking around, not really going anywhere. This, uh. This place is a lot bigger than buildings I'm used to, so I guess I was just curious?

[icy]

Your name is Hiccup? [ He doesn't laugh, but a wicked grin cuts across his face and he certainly isn't going to leave that one alone for long. ] Never mind. Do you even know where your room is yet, Mr. Intrepid Explorer?

[breadmaking]

[HUFF. Even if he's told to never mind, Hiccup gets the feeling the topic is going to come back up at some point. He folds his arms over his chest, but the annoyed look he's trying now more or less fails at that question.

A glance from side to side, trying to spare himself some time, he does his best to come up with a way to give the answer that doesn't sound embarrassing.]

Well-- No. Not yet. But I'm working my way there! It...can't be that hard to find. I'm sure.

[Don't judge him okay, geez.]

[icy]

[ Shifty McShifterson is clearly the most subtle boy to have ever lived. ]

Or maybe you want to end up in the girls' wing, so you can say you "got lost".

[ There's so much to tease him about, where to start. ]

[breadmaking]

What?!

[He doesn't really look like the kind of person who would do that, does he???]

No! No no no no, that's not it at all! [Shaking his head and waving his arms vehemently, he's doing his best to deny without accidentally overdoing it.] Absolutely not! Who even does that sort of thing, that's just...not cool.

[icy]

[ SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER #1. Sagely, Jack twirls his staff over a shoulder and clucks his tongue. ]

Skulking around the corridors like this, some people might get the wrong idea. I'm just saying.

[ In which Hiccup becomes Enemy of the State for ever having had the misfortune of walking into Jack. ]

[breadmaking]

[No, this is the absolute opposite way he wanted his first day anywhere to go. Stop looking at him like that!!]

I'm not-- I'm not skulking! I'm just walking! There's a very clear difference that I'm sure most people would see! ...Probably.

[He doesn't even think he's anywhere near the girls' wing anyway! ...Pretty sure. Is there a map, because that would probably be really helpful right about now...]

--No one should get the wrong idea because there's nothing wrong about it. This. The fact that I'm not doing anything but checking the place out.

[icy]

[ So easy to rile. Rolling his eyes, Jack jerks his head to the corridor Hiccup was headed down. ]

Relax, twitch. C'mon, I'll show you around ... and for the record, if anyone tells you to go to the Bower, don't.

That's where the women live.

[breadmaking]

Er. Right, noted.

[MENTAL NOTE MADE. Thank you, Jack Frost, for making sure he doesn't accidentally make himself out to be a creep.]

You sure, though? You don't have to show me around. --I mean, I would appreciate it, but.

[But he'll start walking again anyway, because he's sure not going to turn down the offer if it's real. ...Even if he's pretty sure the guy was just riling him up for the fun of it.]

[icy]

[ Just call him a genuine service to the needy. ]

Yeah, I'm pretty much done for the night, anyway.

[ As evidenced when they round the corner where frost glimmers on the portraits, icicles dangles off the banisters of stairs and on suits of armour. Someone will have to clean that off tomorrow but it won't be Jack, so carpe diem. ]

You said your home's wintry, where'd you come from?

[breadmaking]

Done...what?

[His gaze is on Jack as they round the corner, but as he catches sight of a glimmering out of the corner of his eye, Hiccup turns his head. ...And suddenly it makes sense.]

Never mind. [Though now he's wondering if Jack doesn't just do this to make peoples' lives difficult. Even if he has to admit, it's kind of...pretty. In a really cold sort of way.]

Oh, yeah, I did, didn't I? I'm from Berk. Buuut you've probably never heard of it. [Shrugging, he gives a little eye roll.] Wintry's putting it lightly. More than half the year we've got snow. And about half of that, we're more or less trapped inside by it all.

[Maybe slight exaggeration there. But very slight.]
